  1. Think here in Whitestaunton (800-1000ft in Blackdowns) it's the same. Altitude has meant it's snowed from the outset and Fergieweather's 15-20cm for the Somerset hills is spot on the money by the looks of it
  2. Staying with friends in Whitestaunton in the hills above Chard. Just taken 2.5 hours to go about 12 miles. Absolutely throwing it down and has been for about 4 hours. Far worse than Friday's event. Chard also seems to be getting a good pasting
  3. Met office 16-30 for SE / EA may also hint at what we're in for longer term UK Outlook for Thursday 31 Jan 2013 to Thursday 14 Feb 2013: Colder than average conditions are favoured across many parts of the UK, especially in the north and east. Whilst there is no strong signal for rainfall patterns through this period, drier than average conditions are more likely in the north, whereas the south may have near or even slightly above average rainfall. The frequency of snow events through this period may be more than experienced so far this winter. Issued at: 1600 on Wed 16 Jan 2013
  4. Unless I mis-heard I thought Darren Bett just said on news 24 that met office is going to upgrade warnings for EA to a miner for Monday night through Tuesday as the easterlies kick in
  5. Clearly something wrong - the Abingdon snow shield isn't clearly visible!
  6. Hi FD Got a similar issue to you in that I have to drive to Bristol at 0400 on Monday morning and back to Colchester at 1900. Work for a renowned breakdown organisation and our whole business is on "red alert". Sub 0 degrees makes for a large increase in breakdowns and snow doesn't help us get to our customers! Our warnings that are issued every 6 hours point towards the potential for accumulations in EA / SE for Monday, Wednesday and potentially Thursday Enjoy and drive carefully!
  7. To quote the BBC weather at 2235: " a return to the white stuff could be on the cards following the storm blowing through" followed by a mischievous grin.....!
  8. Morning TEITS Same as me - woke up, made coffee and then snow arrived on cue!! In Colchester but cant figure how to change my location on my log in. Settling quickly here and really starting to come down. SM talking about the front stalling over Essex - I can but dream......
  9. Just started snowing in Colchester - we're about 40 miles north of the M25 and about 10 miles in from the essex coastline. Started light but starting to improve now - good enough for me to skive - was due to be in Manchester for 1130am but don't think I'll bother
  10. Do people think that the BBC and Meto have to be more cautious than most to try and get people to understand the worst case scenario. I remember a few years ago gettin off the M1 prior to a deluge of snow and people being stuck there for 16 hours+. There were little to no warnings and since then it seems that they always tend to go over the top when forecasting snow. I could be wrong but I've tended to assume this to be the case.
